Chapter 5

Marianne’s pov

As I look up to catch the eyes of a man in a guard like uniform, opening the lock of the cells, his curious eyes met mine , I watch him open my cell door and step into the little cell and head towards me.

“Come with me” he said with a little reluctance like he didn’t want to be here at all.

I felt pains all through my body as I made and attempt to get up from the cold floor which I have slept on all night, and followed him out of the cell. We headed up the stairs and came into a hallway I failed to observe yesterday. And I was led to into a room, and as soon as I got in the guard turned and left me as I turn to observe my surroundings.

Everything here was so minimalistic, yet it had an antique feel about it, the was a huge window connected to a balcony ,which led in plenty of light to the room and gave a great view to a large forest which led me to believe we were at the west wing, since the is lycan’s castle faced the forest from the west wing.

I was interrupted from the door opening and an older woman which looked to be in her fifty’s, step in with a maid like uniform, which led me to believe she was a maid.

Her features looked intense when she entered the room,as soon as her eyes fell on me, she relaxed a bit and put on a bright smile on her face with strangely reminded me of my mother.

“Good morning dear you must be the new maid,that happened to sleep in the cellar for a particular reason” she said with a smile on her face, which confused my feeling of what was her main intention behind those words. It made me very uncomfortable and I wanted so badly to just go home, guess it was too late for that, I mutter up the courage to reply her.

“Morning ,but am the omaga that got in yesterday to serve as a maid” I murmur with uncertainty in my voice, wouldn’t the princes be mad that am out of my cell, did they accept me as their maid, will they kill me if they see me out of my cell , these thoughts ran through my brain as I felt a chill run down my spine for a hundred times today.

“Oh dear, am quite aware of that I bought you some uniforms your to resume your duties right away, she said back to me as I for the the first time since she entered the room observe the farbic she has on her arms, I watch her walk to the bed and place the uniform on the bed.

“Which reminds me I am the head maid vera and personal nannies to the princes, do well to get change so I can show you your section and get back to work as well”, she said to me.

Being bold I reach for my back, in attempt to open my dress with the zip, as vera attempts to help me with it, but I tell her that’s I can do it on my own, as she let me strips slowly.

Vera urges me to use the bathroom before changing up, which gave me a feeling of a guest than a maid or prisoner, as I turn around and made my way to the bathroom with a blush on my face, no one as seen me naked except my mother it strange having to strip in front of anyone other than her.

I got into the bathroom, which was quite as large as my former house as a whole and made my way to the tub , putting on the shower and got down to business, and finishing with my bath and reaching for a towel I placed on my little body and walked out the bathroom.

It a Shame to admit, that was the best bath I’ve had in a while, the soap and shampoo must have cost a fortune, and gave me a rose like scent. I thought as I walked out of the bathroom .

And found vera in the center of the room ,just as I left here she narrows her eyes at me then at the dress on the bed. Which gave me the message that I should get change.

“When your done changing meet me at in the kitchen down the hallway ”she says.

As she turned and make her way out of the room, she made me confused why she didn’t leave earlier, I really hope I survive here everyone and everything seems so scary as I took off my towel and slipped on my maid uniform and headed to the kitchen just as vera instructed

I was completely aware of my surroundings as I made my way down the hallway, it was easy to locate the kitchen due to the aroma of pancakes in the air, this reminds me it been more than twenty-four hours I had last taken a meal since we left for the castle.

I walk into the kitchen to find Vera flipping pancakes, and humming a familiar tune while being lost In her own world, taking a deep breath I called out to her.

“Vera, you….”I trail off before I was interrupted.

“oh dear, am sorry I got carried away, why don’t you have a sit while I fix breakfast for you” she says as she walks towards the window , she was craning her head out of the window for a better view making me believed that she have indeed found something interesting. What if it’s the princes, the thought of this strikes me like a thunderbolt, all I could think of was of them returning me to the cell the thought of this makes me what to run away from here and never look back.

Vera walks to where am seated with a plate of those pancakes. She gave me a sympathetic look and a pat on my back.

“When I was told that they was a guest in the cell who needs to be taken care of, by the princes I was confused, but I understand you’re their mate, I have never seen them react so confused and scared at the same time, give them time they would come around “ she whispered with a sympathetic smile on her face.

I was confused, she had it all wrong, the princes are the worse being I know and they is nowhere they would feel sorry for what they did to me or confused like she said or scared, why would they lock me up and then tell their maid to take care of me, I know she’s like their nannies but it confusing.

“But that doesn’t mean that ur duties, wouldn’t be carried out….your to the west wing personal maid until you are claim, I know it’s hard but do your best to put up with them” she muttered underneath her breath.

I swallowed the pancakes down my throat and found my self nodding hard. Oh no, I don’t want to be claimed but I can’t tell her that ,am just going to find a way to survive and then runaway from here I would never want to be theirs mate.

Vera turned back to walk back to the dishes, when she saw the look of fear on my face she halted

“Is there anything you want?…” she tried to smile

“I came here with my mum, would it be ok if I see her” I said with a little voice I have tried to mutter.

“Am sorry dear, you would have to take permission from the master’s, but…she trails of as the door of the kitchen was thrown open, I couldn’t think of anything else at the moment as I turn my head and my eyes where met with three pissed off alphas

“What is she doing here” the Alpha princes growls.
